If you plan to use the slow cooker feature on the Instant Pot the glass lid is an excellent addition to the appliance.

The Slow Cook function on Instant Pot IP-CSG series emulates other slow cookers. It can be set to cook for 1~10 hours. The operating temperature is at 88-93°C (190-200°F). You need to set the steam release handle to the "venting" position during slow cook. If not, a low pressure could build up in the pot.The IP-LUX series has more sophisticated temperature control, which you can choose "Less", "Normal" and "More" with the "Adjust" button. These correspond to the Low, Medium and High in common slow cookers. The operating temperature is at 88-99°C (190-210°F), and it can be set to cook for 1~10 hours.

I purchased this lid additionally so when I want to serve, I can leave off the large bulky lid and use this one. It is much easier for your family or friends to take off and on. Being made of glass you can see what is inside which is always a plus. Also, if in the future I want to get an extra pot I can put this lid on the first pot while I cook more or something different in a second pot. This lid would help keep the food warm while your cooking in the second pot. It's not a "must have" to enjoy your new cooker, but definitely nice to have to go with it. I've also used the lid when storing leftovers in the pot. I purchased this lid additionally so when I want to serve, I can leave off the large bulky lid and use this one.

Hello,The glass lid is used for the saute function and the slow cook function. However, you could still use the original lid for the slow cook function if you would like. Kind Regards,

No you do not need the lid unless you are wanting to serve the food in the aluminum pot and then you might want the lid. You do not need it if you intend to transfer contents to another container when you are done.

You won't. You have to buy the instruction book and cook book separate and pay for it. Send it back now,mine lasted about a month. The lid is heavy and dangerous over hyped on TV.

Yes but it takes about 4 weeks its about $24.00 I bought a damaged carton for 28.00 (hint) if you pull the shut off thingie out in the bottom of the plastic basket you can use any pot. save the parts when you get your new one just bush it back in.

I have not used it in some time - but if I remember correctly the lid fits snug on the pot. Hope this helps.

It fits my standard instant pot's inner pot. You use it on the instant pot when you're not using the pressure lid, like for using the slow cooker or saute features. There is an air vent hole on it so I don't know if you'd want to use it in the refrigerator with just the lid. It doesn't seal the inner pot like you'd want for food storage.

Yes, absolutely. Using a potholder is a good idea too, since you may risk being burnt by the rising steam from the lid.

I don't have an extra lid. I just purchased my butter boat and love it. It might be just as cheap to purchase a whole new butter boat than to buy a new lid.

No it is not required but I use it for keeping the pot cleaner and it taste better.

QVC's webpage doesn't show this item, so I can't compare it. A locking lid would make it different from the one sold on Amazon. However, the lid fits well with its rim that slides into the pot, so I personally wouldn't "need" the locking lid.

you can probably use one of your currently existing lids so long as the measurements match up. there is nothing particularly distinctive about this lid in comparison to lids for other cookers except for the small steaming vent hole as seen in the photo.

You use this instead of your regular pot lid. You put the two pieces on the pot.

That's what I bought it for. Only bad part is my pot wasn't tall enough to put the lid on. Also shipped from China and took a while, all in all hapy.

My apologies for the delay in responding. I had misunderstood your original question. The lid you identified is intended to fit the pressure skillet, but is not included when you purchase the skillet. Only the metal lid is included in the box. I don't have this glass lid in my stock. I do hope you find one (and at a good price).

My best quess is www.crockpot.com and look under parts. Good luck...you do need a lid!

Sure, if you to buy me a new one after I give you mine. Seriously,, why would you ask such a question? What would I use for a lid at that point? Unbelievable.....

No. The skillet does not come with a lid. You would probably have to use a lid from a big stock pot. It is 17-inches across so keep that in mind if you go that route.

The lid and gasket can be easily washed by hand. Would not put the lid or the gasket in the dishwasher. The pot comes out of the Instant Pot shell so it can be easily washed. Guess the pot can be put in the dishwasher (if the dishwasher is big enough) - but we usually just soak it and wash it easily later.
